Hair loss is a normal process for man, because lost hair is replaced by new one. However, in the strong hair loss, new hair do not have time to grow and then alopecia takes place.

Intensified hair loss and the development of alopecia is caused by different factors, such as:

• Hormonal imbalance;
• Fatigue and stress;
• Scalp Injuries or burns;
• Inflammatory diseases of the genitourinary system;
• Chronic diseases of the gastrointestinal tract;
• Autoimmune disorders;
• Alcohol or drug intoxication;
• Avitaminosis.

Hormone therapy is one of the most modern and advanced methods of alopecia treatment.

Hormonal drug Prednisone is prescribed to patients at the earliest stage of alopecia development, as for the long-term treatment of alopecia Prednisone is not very effective.

The use of Prednisone at the early stages of alopecia development stops hair loss, and stimulates new hair growth instead of fallen. Although Prednisone is not applied as a long-term treatment of alopecia, it has a distinct advantage over other hormonal drugs prescribed for the restoration of hair growth.

The advantage of Prednisone is that it can be used both by men and women. Another significant feature of Prednisone is that it is supplied not only it tablets but also as an ointment for local use.

In cases when hair loss is the result of chemical or thermal burn, Prednisone ointment not only stimulates the growth of new hair, but also provides anti-inflammatory effect on the affected skin.

The dosage of Prednisone for alopecia treatment:

• In the strong hair loss it is recommended to take 1 pill of Prednisone 20 mg 2 times a day (The daily dose of Prednisone is 40 mg)
• The first evaluation of the Prednisone effectiveness should be performed not earlier than after 4 weeks of hormonal treatment course
• After 8 weeks of treatment, the use of Prednisone should be stopped, because after this time period the clinical effectiveness of Prednisone is greatly reduced
• Withdrawal of Prednisone should be done gradually. It is necessary to reduce daily the average daily dose of Prednisone by 10 mg up to a complete withdrawal of the drug.
• If the hair loss is accompanied by the inflammatory process of the scalp, it is necessary to apply daily the Prednisone ointment on the affected area.
• Big amounts of Prednisone ointment do not strengthen the effect, therefore, you should apply minimum amounts.

With the help of hormonal drug Prednisone you will be able to stop the hair loss, eliminate inflammatory process of the scalp, and prevent the development of alopecia.
